Baby Names

This or that?

Having a lot of anxiety deciding between two names. In a perfect world I would get 2 more sons and be able to use both names but in the event I don't, I'm wondering which name is more appealing. 

Nolan James (James is middle name of DH and is FIL name) we did not use a family name with ds1 so I'm not sure I want to make a trend of it, as both DH and I and my brother have family middle names and I feel a lot of pressure to continue even if I like other names better 

Rhys Thomas (pronounced "reese". Rhys is welsh, I have a lot of English Scottish french roots, ds1 has a Dutch first name after DH Dutch and German roots. Thomas is the name of a little boy in my community who just recently passed away from cancer at 4yo and his death has really affected me)

Last name rhymes with drink

    Well that works!
  • I LOVE Nolan! I would have used it for our baby except our DD is Norah, and I think they are too similar.
